Analysis of Water Quality Parameters of Chenab River Water and its Major Tributaries in Kishtwar and Doda Districts of Jammu and Kashmir
Abstract: Water quality analysis is one of the most important aspects for assessing the pollution level. River Chenab has been a major source of water supply for many purposes and provides fertile lands, which support the development of its adjoining areas due to its favorable conditions. In the present study Chenab River water and its major tributaries between Padder (Kishtwar) and Assar (Doda) has been extensively studied to assess the overall water quality and to identify the major variables responsible for water quality variations. Water samples were collected in triplicate from 9 different sampling stations to evaluate the water quality status during Sept-Oct 2020. A total 16 water quality parameters analyzed were found within the permissible limit of drinking water quality, indicating good water quality status posing no serious threat for different human usage.
